UNSPSC 50407019: Chrysanthemum greens

The type of vegetable known as chrysanthemum greens

UNSPSC 50407019 Chrysanthemum greens, a Commodity code, captures state and local government procurement of fresh produce and produce-related food service items, though recent solicitation activity under this specific code is sparse and does not prominently feature chrysanthemum greens. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged with or referenced under produce-related codes reflect broader fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts, food service groceries for state facilities, and school nutrition programs. The issuing bodies range across state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county school systems (Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County, Bartow County in Georgia; Madison Metropolitan in Wisconsin), municipal and county parks authorities (Collier County, Florida), and specialized procurement entities such as Head Start programs and senior services divisions. The work being solicited includes bi-weekly or weekly fresh produce delivery to correctional facilities, state supported living centers, school cafeterias, and senior centers; individual line items span apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, and other standard fresh vegetables and fruits, typically with USDA quality and freshness standards, traceability documentation, and delivery within specified temperature and time windows.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables and food service supplies at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's multiple fresh fruit and vegetable supply RFPs to food warehouses in Palestine, Snyder, and Wynne (due October 14–19, 2026), the Illinois Department of Corrections RFQ for fresh produce bi-weekly delivery to Joliet Treatment Center (due September 3, 2026, small business set-aside), the Bartow County School System RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (due June 22, 2026), and the Dougherty County Board of Education sealed bid for fresh produce covering 40 line items across 24 school nutrition sites (due June 16, 2026). Many school district procurements include local-sourcing mandates, seasonal variety requirements, and weighted evaluation criteria favoring organic or diverse-owned vendor status. Most contracts run fiscal-year or school-year terms (July through June or September through August) with optional renewal periods, firm fixed pricing for 30–120 days, and delivery compliance tied to food safety regulations, HACCP plans, and performance tracking systems.
